Weird or Normal?

When I was young a family friend accused my family of being the real life version of "Leave it to Beaver". She meant it as both a compliment and as a way of saying our "normal" family wasn't really the norm anymore. We were the weird ones. I was thinking about this the other day and it got me to wondering if, now that I'm an adult, I still have a weird family. I'm not worried about it. Weird has always worked for me. Just, curious. I know a lot of the ways that the traditional American family is no longer normal, but there are a few things I'm not sure about.
Is it weird that we eat dinner together as a family the majority of nights and enjoy that time together?
Is there anything your family does that you thought was normal, but isn't?

About Me

I'm the 4th in a line of women named Rixie in my family. I've been married all my life or at least the adult part of it. We have produced two amazing children, a daughter I nicknamed Nix, and a son nicknamed JD. They are both cute and brilliant. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts.
